Create an e-book about a famous leader who promoted "Nationalism"

The French Revolution created a new sense of French nationalism (pride in one's country). Napoleon's troops considered themselves 'liberators' rather than 'conquerers' in the Napoleonic wars.

Your task:

1. Choose a famous leader from the list below
2. Do some internet research about him
3. Create an e-book using the CAST UDL book builder

An example I did on Napoleon

Choose from the following:
Italy: Giuseppi Garibaldi, Giuseppi Mazzini, Count Camillo Cavour.
Germany: Otto Von Bismarck
Haiti: Toussant L'Overture
Turkey: Kemal Attaturk
Central/South America: Simon Bolivar, Jose de San Martin
Check with me if you want to do someone else.

When you are done:
1.) Publish your e-book at the Cast UDL website
2.) Download a copy of it to your folder on the school network.
3.) Make sure your name is in your book (first or last page) and it contains five slides.
4.) Send me an e-mail indication you are done: tjosephson@portchesterschools.org
